Our Programmes
Post Graduate Diploma in Quantity Surveying and Contracts Management (PGDQSCM)
“Under JNTUH affiliation”
Overview
This inter-disciplinary Programme of studies builds upon the concepts and methodologies of management, engineering, architecture, law, information technology, social and behavioral sciences and combines theory with practice.
The curriculum is a judicious blend of theoretical and applied courses both in general management and construction management accompanied with practical experience and research work.
Theoretical courses aim to improve the students understanding of certain fundamental phenomena and relationships that characterize the changing world in which managers must operate. Applied courses, which occupy the bulk of the students time, link the theoretical studies to practice problems in the construction, infrastructure and real estate development projects. Practical experience is gained by a student through construction practice, site visits and summer training where he/she learns to practice the newly acquired management skills under the supervision of an expert.
